Simplifying Planning Policy and Site Assessment

Create, gather and analyse evidence

Manage all of your technical documents and link them as evidence to support draft policy decisions.

One tool to create, collect and collate all evidence

Save time with pre-built templates to author research or technical documents and studies. Then, link them directly to your planning policy content.

Connect the chain of evidence to your draft policies

Easily demonstrate the evidence you’ve used to create your policy by importing data from various sources.

Choose to include feedback into the pool of evidence

Capture comments and notes, review proposed changes, track approvals and objections throughout the planning policy process.

Draft local plans, development plans, and policies with speed and accuracy

Say goodbye to battling with formatting, file corruption, and reliance on typesetters.

Multiple authors, single document

Eliminate the time-consuming task of collating various source inputs; wrangling spreadsheets, managing huge files or dealing with the dreaded Word corruption issues. Multiple authors, internal or external, can work on the same document, at the same time.

Create content once, re-use anywhere

Ensure your documents are always accurate. Centrally manage master policy content, then embed it in your various plans. Updates are automatically reflected.

Effortlessly compare versions of your policy

Easily compare draft and final policies, with tracked change outputs, ready for the Planning Inspector or Reporter. Track every change, with the option to roll back to previous versions.

Streamline your site assessment process

From the very start of the process, Objective Keyplan can support rigorous site assessment workflows.

Capture accurate site submissions.

Build accurate, centralised Site Libraries integrating policy, planning, and GIS data. Compare sites side by side, visualise insights with custom tabular views, and seamlessly import or export datasets to enable confident, evidence-based, collaborative planning and informed decision-making across teams.

Make evidence-based decisions

Define clear assessment criteria to centralise structured evidence. Consolidate all site data, import existing datasets, and manually capture new entries. Collect auditable, spatially verified evidence with expert commentary, and efficiently maintain accuracy using bulk updates for large-scale data management.

Manage all your site data in one place

Build accurate, centralised Site Libraries integrating GIS, planning, and policy data. Compare sites side by side, uncover patterns, and make evidence-based decisions with custom data views. Seamlessly import, export, and collaborate for transparent, efficient, and insightful planning analysis.

Consult, process and report

Leverage AI to manage and process all engagement and consultee responses. 

Gain efficiencies with AI

Within Objective Keyplan, AI analyses your representation and auto-generates a summary, enabling you to respond to representations, officer notes, neighbouring boroughs, and associations more efficiently, at scale. Notes and comments can be shared with your team through the system.

AI Sentiment Analysis

AI evaluates responses for sentiment (positive, negative, neutral) to help you quickly identify trends and issues. AI auto-tagging suggests Keywords or Subjects for easy filtering and reporting. Custom Tags can be personalised for each consultation.

Built-in Redaction Tool

Easily redact sensitive or harmful information from representations, keeping originals intact. Choose between reporting with redacted or original versions. Upload redacted files to easily manage internal and public-facing views of consultation responses.

Put your consultation on a map

Keyplan’s mapping capability captures GIS data such as lines, points, and polygons for accurate spatial information. Simplify attribution and directly export to your GIS systems. And allow consultees to search the policy register relevant to their location.
